Since I didn't have a save file (per the instructions in the first post), I had to reboot and make one. After that, the .PET installed without a problem. With the .SFS file in the same folder as the save, I rebooted again, exited to prompt, and typed in "xwin gnome-session". However, it just ran Puppy normally.

I'm pretty sure the problem is that I am only supposed to make a save file after I install the .PET file. Unfortunately, I don't have enough RAM to do this.

EDIT: I forgot about the commands I was supposed to enter into the terminal. I just did them now, rebooted, and did the prompt thing, but this still doesn't work.

When you go into bootmanager and select 'choose which extra sfs files you want to load at boot' you get a second window. (with two panes)

Sorry Malachi, I lost your post out of sight.
You should tick the box 'ignore above user selection,...........'
Or alternatively leave the box unticked and rename the rename the gnome-2.20.3-test2_410.sfs to gnome-2.20.3-test2.sfs.
This is the way I prefer to work.
Reason there are sfs files which goes with more then one version of puppy._________________Time savers:

Really digging this Gnome. Problem though. My wine games appear to work in this gnome...but not in jwm. but the thing is, after starting a game, when i'm done playing and restart X or the computer, my panels permanently disappear. amongst load up they blink about 6 times.....then blink out to not return until the next load up where i yet again get about 6 blinks then they blink out.

why does the games work in gnome but not jwm? i really just want to be able to play my wine gamehouse games even if it's jwm. preferable gnome though.

I suppose that you start your wine games from those icons on the Desktop, Try to switch to jwm, start ROX-Filer, browse to /root/Desktop then you fill find those launchers, start your games from there.
